CVE-2025-9387

6.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes an OS command injection vulnerability in DCN DCME-720 web management backend. Attackers can execute arbitrary commands on affected devices by manipulating the 'ip' parameter in the ip_block.php file. This affects DCN DCME-720 devices running version 9.1.5.11 and potentially other products.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • DCN DCME-720
Versions: 9.1.5.11
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux (likely)
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Other DCN products might be affected according to the disclosure. The web management backend must be accessible for exploitation.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full system compromise allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands with web server privileges, potentially leading to data theft, lateral movement, or device takeover.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution allowing attackers to modify configurations, install malware, or use the device as a pivot point in the network.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper network segmentation and access controls prevent exploitation attempts.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and affects web management interfaces that may be exposed to the internet.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internally, this provides a foothold for attackers who gain network access.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub. The vulnerability requires access to the web management interface but may not require authentication depending on configuration.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: UNKNOWN

Vendor Advisory: NONE

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Vendor did not respond to disclosure. Consider workarounds or replacement if possible.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Access Restriction

linux

Restrict access to the web management interface to trusted IP addresses only.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -s TRUSTED_IP -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -s TRUSTED_IP -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP

File Access Restriction

linux

Remove or restrict access to the vulnerable ip_block.php file.

mv /usr/local/www/function/audit/newstatistics/ip_block.php /usr/local/www/function/audit/newstatistics/ip_block.php.disabled
chmod 000 /usr/local/www/function/audit/newstatistics/ip_block.php.disabled

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate affected devices in a separate network segment with strict firewall rules.
  • Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block command injection patterns targeting the ip parameter.

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if the file /usr/local/www/function/audit/newstatistics/ip_block.php exists and contains unsanitized input handling for the 'ip' parameter.

Check Version:

Check device firmware version via web interface or CLI if available.

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that the ip_block.php file is removed/disabled or that input validation prevents command injection.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual commands in web server logs related to ip_block.php
  • Failed authentication attempts followed by command execution patterns

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from the DCME-720 device
  • Traffic patterns suggesting reverse shells or command execution

SIEM Query:

source="web_server" AND uri="*ip_block.php*" AND (param="ip" AND value="*;*" OR value="*|*" OR value="*`*" OR value="*$(*")
